It may not be the most obvious reason to embrace the benefits offered by Voip technology, but in South Africa at least, unprecedented rates of telephone line theft are prompting local businesses to turn away from standard telephone lines in favour of Voice Over IP technology.
The telephone lines are highly sought by thieves thanks to their copper wires, which are sold to overseas bidders - costing the country's major fixed line telephone operator 'Telkom' an average of 20 million rand per month.
The thefts have now reached epidemic proportions, so much so that businesses who are, or have been, affected by the disruptions caused to their communications are looking to technology to give them a more viable option; and that option is Voip.
And because of this, Voip coverage and technology is flourishing, with more businesses jumping on the bandwagon each and every day, and the service providers climbing all over each other to offer the latest safeguards and services against communication disruption.
BitCo are one such company offering a range of benefits that standard phone line operators just cannot match. One such benefit is a service known as invisible lines, which works by utilising the latest technology to emit-radio waves to towers and roofs which function as relay stations, relaying the signal to customers homes.
Kobas Mathee, technical director of BitCo insists that a network such as this based on Ethernet standards is becoming the industry standard: 'There is a lot of intelligence built into our network With this we can guarantee uptime and services and thus offer an alternative to traditional landlines, which are often prone to quality problems and prolonged downtime due to cable breakages or theft'.
The developments in South Africa are yet further proof of the ever expanding demands made of the Voip industry, and further highlights the importance ensuring your service provider is able to offer a wide range of reliable services as well as greater flexibility and control over the Voip network.
So whatever your reasons for choosing Voip technology, be sure that when choosing a service provider you opt for a company who can help you to expand and increase the reach of your future brand ahead of the competition by being that one step ahead.
